Posts from dc65 in thread „Spooky John Wayne Scenes“

I know it's a little after Halloween now, but I just watched Sheppard of the Hills and while it's not super scary, I really beleive it's the creepiest (in parts) that I have seen. The mountain folk are quite superstitious and that lends an edge to it.

Maybe not a really scary movie, but I think that perhaps the Conqueror would be a good halloween film.

I think it fits pretty well, because it's kind of like JW is playing dress up.

I think we have to face the fact that there is not a duke for all saesons. Halloween being one particular holiday that we may not be able to enjoy a special movie that fits the bill.

I have seen Randy Rides Alone and while the begining may be a little creepy and disturbing, it doesn't really come off in a unsettling way. Now, I will blame the music for that or lack there of. Music is what really makes something grip you and on all those old westerns from the thirties, you were lucky if you got any music besides the opening theme.

I have seen more than forty of John Wayne's films and can't think of one that is actually spooky (though I haven't seen Haunted Gold yet).

Having said all that, I would love to be proven wrong.
